Quotes
Don't forget mental health ...
"[N]europsychiatric conditions are the most important causes of disability, accounting for more than 37 percent of YLDs [Years Lived with a Disability] … among adults ages 15 and over. The disabling burden of neuropsychiatric conditions is almost the same for males and females, but the major contributing causes are different. While depression is the leading cause for both males and females, the burden of depression is 50 percent higher for females than for males, and females also have a higher burden from anxiety disorders, migraine, and senile dementias. In contrast, the male burden for alcohol and drug use disorders is nearly six times higher than that for females and accounts for one-quarter of the male neuropsychiatric burden."
